Why not have Chen go for a 3rd inning at this point?  He pitched ok and the game is over.  It'll be another week before he pitches again, why not save another arm (Kinley in this case) in this game?

 

 

Here we go again

 

 

Prepare for Alfaro's 3 swings for the fences at balls nowhere close.

 

 

There's 1.

 

 

And 2.

 

 

Wow, he laid off one.  Hm, two.

 

 

once again, the lack of offensive firepower is all too apparent in yet another thrilling loss.... that #1 pick next year better be fucking good

 

 

Another day, Another loss

 

 

Another day, Another loss

 

is that our motto ?

 

 

right now there must be a top rated prospect a year away from the draft thinking, "Oh, fuck.  Next year, I'm gonna be a Marlin!"
